Coming To Life

 

A dead Cicada

held in my hands

then suddenly

its wings began to beat

and with a rattle

it just as suddenly flies away

I had thought

I was holding death in my hands

but as it turned out

I was holding life

like a miracle occurs

when we hold a baby

in our arms

one beating heart

feels the other

and both hearts

come to life.
